Italy: Matera - Call for cultural curators

In order to prepare and support the candidature of Matera for the European Capital of

Culture title, the Matera 2019 Committee was set up in July 2011 by an institutional
partnership consisting of the Matera Municipality, the Basilicata Region, the Potenza
Municipality, the Provinces of Matera and Potenza, the University of Basilicata and the
Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Matera.

The Committee appointed a technical team – co-ordinated by the Director and

supported by an international scientific committee- to prepare the application to be
submitted by 20 th September 2013.

 

The Matera 2019 Committee is looking for 3 cultural curators.

Their task will be to identify and develop key cultural projects based on European cooperation
and/or co-production that will form the backbone of the cultural
programme of the Matera 2019 application.
The cultural projects will be closely related to the themes of Matera’s candidature,
such as for instance “connection and contemplation”, “sound and silence”, “body and
earth”, “inhabiting space and place”, “utopias and dystopias”.

Deadline 28 May 2013
